Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading...it is a chance for bloggers and readers to share "teasers" from what they are currently reading in hopes to connect others with novels.

The rules are simple:

1-Grab whatever you are currently reading2-Open to a random page3-Choose two sentences/passages/teasers and post them4-Remember not to give any "spoilers!"5-Give the author/book information so that others can check it out

I am currently reading One Day and One Amazing Morning on Orange Street by Joanne Rocklin. This book is very different from other novels I have been reading lately, but I have a feeling that this story is going to have a very interesting and endearing ending to it.

Here are my teasers:

"She felt the way she always felt when her mother went on a trip by plane: slowed way down, like a turtle or a snail. But then another question occurred to her: Do turtles and snails ever feel perky, in their own way?"

"Not once did long-ago Bunny complain about her odd name in that journal. She had too many other things to think about, such as setting broken bones, delivering babies, smoking peace pipes with Native Americans, and cooking for her six children."

YES!! Both of these passages came from the same page :) Happy reading!
